Respuesta :

The answer is D. Gym B and Gym A charge the same hourly rate for childcare.

Answer:

  Gym B and Gym A charge the same hourly rate for childcare

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of $0.75 per 5 minutes is ...

  $0.75/(5/60 h) = $0.75×12/h = $9.00/h

Gym B's hourly rate is $9.00, the same as that of Gym A.
